Ingredients
- 2.5 cups of ground beef
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 cup of macaroni
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 1 small chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons of chili powder
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a medium-size pot over medium heat and add ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Add macaroni, tomato sauce, chopped onion, chili powder, pepper and salt to the pot with the cooked beef; stir everything together and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally so the macaroni doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.

Notes
There are a few things to keep in mind when making Chef Boyardee’s Beefaroni. Here are a few tips to help you make the best dish possible:
• Use lean ground beef for the best flavor.
• Use canned tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
• Use a short pasta such as elbow macaroni for the best texture.
• Feel free to customize this dish with your favorite spices and herbs.
• For a creamier dish, you can add some cream or half-and-half to the pot.
• If you don’t have cheese on hand, you can omit it from the recipe.
